How do I get crayon out of our couch?

Ds colored on our couch a little over a week ago. We have the fabric protection plan but apparently it doesn't cover crayon (which they didn't tell us until we called for a second time this week). So - great - now it's set in...

Anyhow it's a microfiber couch. Any tips on what might work?

Stain Removal TipsScrape excess crayon off with a dull-edge knife or metal spoon. Spray with WD-40 and let stand a few minutes. With a small, stiff bristle brush work crayon stain and wipe with paper towels. Respray with WD-40 and apply liquid dish detergent on the sprayed area; work in with the brush and wipe stain away with a damp sponge. If stain remains, repeat the procedure. For another method, use any brand upholstery cleaner as directed on the container. (Optional)-Amodex® ink & stain remover PROCEDURE: Use according to directions on container. Purchase Amodex by calling 800-624-7367 or visit www.fahrneyspens.com.

Good luck!!! You can always check their site with more specifics about the type of crayon. Good luck!

Yes, I love question marks and smily facesand I'll use as many as I want to!!!!!! :)

Baby wipes worked on our microfiber couch. You have to rub kinda hard, but it came right out for us. BTW, they also take permanent marker off of some things. And I'd check the documentation you have on your fabric protection plan. It could be they really do cover crayon, or don't specifically except it, but they just don't want to pay up.

GOOF OFF! You can get it at home depot and its amazing! It will take paint out of carpet and handles pretty much any mess. Test it on like the underside of a cushion or something though to make sure it doesn't take out the color. I've never used it for crayon on microfiber but I bet it would work!
